Most desk side support is exactly that.

Not even moderately helpful for printer questions.

I was thinking about the scripts surrounding a video player and episode management.

Over Tor a direct download might be better than torrent. I don't recall why tor is terrible for torrents, but my experience was lame in that regard.

I loved that show. Unfortunately, when I was explaining it, one of the ass hats in class thought I was talking about the 'gay' show with the inside out guy. There was no further discussion.

Tor is more focused on security and privacy, so most scripts will break. Torrents don't fare well on Tor, and I can't imagine streaming will either.

Many of us tried. Not exactly loic-level mischief, but it was a concerted effort.

Sounds like Reddit should disable post comment/s.

My house has always lagged behind in the newest tech for one reason or another. Usually it's because I end up adopting everyone's old electronics, but sometimes it's because we have old devices for kids.

USB C is better for me because I'm no longer fumbling to connect the charger late at night. I also appreciate that the charger works for other devices, but that was common for me with micro USB. There were also devices I had that took mini USB.

Now most of the different mini USB devices are gone, but I still have devices that need micro USB. Right not, that's my third party Xbox controllers I inherited and use for PC games. Tandem's T-slim insulin pump was also behind when we got them. Charging the pumps or using the controllers now means we are scrambling for an "old charger."

We just finished. We were 0-10 on knocking on doors. Eventually they gave up and kept on trucking.

NCR names their motherboards after NASCAR tracks.

I have thought about it, but the assembly process has to be extraordinary simple. I would be terrified to know that the fastener I recommended sheared, taking someone's life.

Also, there seems to be at least two extremes in DIY. One would be the individual who understands the processes and is doing it to show their technical prowess. The other would be the individual who desperately needs the end product.
